Most internet browser software contains security settings which you can use to enhance your level of security.

This website makes some use of technical data that does not personally identify browsers, including:

Computer Address Information – to enable communication between your computer and the server hosting this website, it is necessary that your web browser provides your computer’s network address, including the top-level domain name (eg .com, .gov, .org, etc), so that our web server can address its “replies” back to the correct machine. In addition, the browser type and operating systems which you use may also be recorded.

Session, Navigation and Clickstream Data – when you browse this website a trail of the pages you have visited is generated as well as a record of the amount of data transferred and the date, time and duration of access. It may also log the previous site you have visited. This information is recorded against the network address supplied by your web browser.

Cookies – a cookie is a very small text file placed on to your computer when you visit a website. “Session cookies” are used to make your visit to this website more effective, by temporarily storing a record of your navigation of the site. They are discarded at the end of the browsing session. Otherwise you might lose the entire search context each time a new page is visited during a session, making the browsing experience more time consuming.

Most web browser software enables you to decide whether you wish to reject or accept cookies. Check with your software supplier if you are not sure. If cookies are disabled, you may find this website provides less than desirable functionality and speed, for the reasons described above.

GC Child Care Centres does not use cookies to identify you personally, to connect your personal identity with your computer address or to track the navigational or browsing habits of identified visitors.
